Wired Differently: Quizbot # 3






Quizbot is a weekly quiz initiated by yours truly in an attempt to reach far out in everyone's quest for Curiosity. Besides, Quizzing is one of my hobbies and thanks to SEQC, now one of my passions.

Quizbot # 2 was more of a success than Quizbot # 1. Here, we continue with the Quizzing series with Quizbot # 3.


Set # 3


1. Space always amused this Inventor, who is also an architect. He is best known for amusing millions of people with his invention. Identify him.


2. Name this type if clothing, which also shares its name with an HTC cell phone. You would also connect this with a series of riots in the WW 2 era. Name.


3. Name this band, which in 2000, released an album which contained two colours in its title.


4. Name this geologist, who in his milestone book popularized the concept of dynamic forces shaping the earth. His book was so popular that Charles Darwin carried a copy along with him in his voyage.


5. In the end, as usual, the sitter. What does the word 'BASE' stand for in BASE Jumping?


Please post your answers in the comments section below.
